Birthday boards

A group birthday card everyone can sign online

One link, everyone adds their bit, and it lands in their inbox on the morning. No card being smuggled past their desk, no whispered "have you signed it yet" across an open-plan floor.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start the board

    Say who it's for and pick the occasion. Twenty seconds, no account, no "verify your email to continue".

  2. 2

    Share one link

    Drop it in the team chat. Anyone who opens it can add a message, a photo or a GIF — no sign-ups, no app, no excuse.

  3. 3

    Send it as a card

    When everyone has signed, email it over. It opens as a card, with the messages landing one at a time — and they can save the lot as a PDF. A free board stays up for 30 days after you send it; unlock it for £5 and we keep it for good.

Add a photo of them from something you actually did together. It beats a stock cake GIF, though there is a stock cake GIF if you insist.

Inside jokes age well on a birthday board. Use them.

Set it up a week ahead. There are always stragglers, and it is always the same people.
